Exodia The Forbidden One Reimagined by Logan Kehoe Power

Does it count as whump when the whumpee is giving it their all in a fight or something, even as they're destroying themselves? They're aware of the fact they're losing everything but they can't stop fighting. They have to push through everything no matter what the cost is to themselves. And hooo boy is it usually quite a big cost to themselves. I love scenes like that.

It sure does count! Fighting a losing battle is peak whumpy suffering

Autobiography is only to be trusted when it reveals something disgraceful. A man who gives a good account of himself is probably lying, since any life when viewed from the inside is simply a series of defeats.

Tyson works over Austin beautifully. He knows which areas to punish for maximum audience pleasure.

Although the air was warm, his muscles froze, transformed to sheets of brittle, unyielding ice. His bones to nothing more than frigid, motionless pillars. Useless for fleeing. Useless for finding escape.

There was no escape.

Like a herd of wild beasts, the enemy surrounded him. How they'd found him—what they knew—what they wanted—he could only guess.

He turned slowly, loath to meet their eyes.

As he accepted what would happen next.

As he raised his hands, empty of weapons, in trembling, unwilling, inevitable surrender.

The ancient history of the term Pyrrhic Victory serves as a reminder that even in the throes of triumph, the price of success can be too high.

The way you build the narrative inside your head is the single most determinant factor that'll guide the course of your life. You went through downfalls, defeats, losses, failures - fine. How do you see them? Are they becoming the final verdicts by which you write your story? Are they making you extremely self-judgemental making you see yourself in the worst light possible? If that's the case then you're digging your own grave. Turn the tables. Shift the perspectives. Find one good thing about the love you lost. Find one good thing about the job or the project you didn't get. Find one good thing about the things you missed in life. Trust me, you were winning in all those times where you were seemingly being cowed down and defeated. Every single apparent failure was building you up for a greater success in the near future. Pay close attention and rewind things to find for yourself how you missed to see the point. Every single defeat in your life was a subtle victory. You're being guided ultimately for your grand destiny. Clear the cobwebs in your mind and start seeing your past in a new light. Those failures were nothing but a hidden success story in the making...
